The property was in close proximity to everything I wanted to see. It was clean. The staff was amazing and very helpful. My only complaint is that the mattress wasn't very good.

The parking was a little problem. We have a pickup truck and fitting that into unit number 5 was a problem. After unloading we just parked in the street, No problem, the motel is on a corner so there are two streets to park on and because it was winter the motel owner made sure we parked on the correct side of the street .thank you.
